The City of London Corporation (the Local Authority for the Square Mile) has promoted the use of 'communal entry chambers' to enable early installation of telecoms services into new City office developments. The initiative has encouraged greater collaboration between the City of London Corporation, telecomes providers and developers, leading to faster, more coordinated installation of telecoms services and avoiding disruption to vehicle and pedestrian movement, which throughout 2013 will have saved a total of 396 days working in the public highway in the City of London.
